If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

This is the animated cartoon sequence by Gerald Scarfe for Goodbye Blue Sky from Pink Floyd's film version of The Wall directed by Alan Parker that I mentioned in this post. Unlike Quadrophenia this is an example where the film complements the music instead of diminishing it.
Though the concept of music and film is about the increasing distance between rock artists and their fans and a burned-out, drug-addicted rock star who wastes away in front of the television. He builds “the wall” around himself, brick by brick, and slowly goes insane. This segments looks back to the bombing of London of the rock singer's childhood.
The face in the wall, Judge Arse, the teacher working his class of children through a mincing machine, and the goose-stepping fascist hammers remain just as striking today as they were when seen for the first time in the 198s Pink Floyd mounted their most elaborate stage show in conjunction with the tour of The Wall, which remains a milestone in rock history. Roger Waters later re-created the Wall show in 1990, amid the ruins of the Berlin Wall.
